Keeping Sustainability High on Your Event Planning List

In the fast-paced world of corporate events, it’s easy to let essential elements like sustainability slip through the cracks. But making your next corporate gathering eco-friendly isn’t just good for the planet—it’s a powerful statement about your brand's commitment to the future. Here’s our sustainable event guide to help you keep sustainability at the forefront of your planning.

Start with a Sustainable Vision

Every memorable event starts with a vision. For an eco-conscious event, this means defining your goals around sustainability early in the planning process. Are you aiming to minimize waste, reduce energy use, or perhaps support local businesses? By setting clear, achievable goals, you create a framework that guides every other decision.

Choose the Right Venue

Location is key in setting the tone for any event. Opt for venues with strong sustainability practices, such as energy-efficient lighting and heating systems, recycling and composting programs, or certifications from recognized environmental organizations. This not only eases the logistics of implementing sustainable event practices but also aligns your event with spaces that are already contributing to a greener planet. Togather works with a handpicked selection of the UK's top venues, and are on hand to find the perfect fit for your event.

Digital Over Disposable

In a world where digital solutions are at our fingertips, consider reducing your reliance on physical materials. Digital invitations, apps for event schedules, and online resources not only cut down on waste but also add a layer of convenience for attendees. Plus, they’re often more cost-effective than their physical counterparts.

Educate and Inspire

An event is a powerful platform to influence and educate. Use it to spread awareness about sustainability in the corporate world. Feature speakers who are pioneers in sustainable practices, showcase innovations in eco-friendly technologies, or provide workshops on making your workplace greener.

Engage Eco-friendly Suppliers

Your event is only as sustainable as your supply chain. At Togather we take pride in connecting you with suppliers who not only excel in their field but also share your commitment to sustainability. From caterers using locally sourced ingredients to bar suppliers specialising in reusable materials, choosing the right suppliers can make all the difference.

Feedback is Your Friend

Don’t forget to gather feedback on your sustainability efforts. What worked? What could be improved? Engaging with attendees, suppliers, and stakeholders after the event provides valuable insights that can help refine your approach for next time.

Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessary shift in how we think about corporate events. At Togather, we’re here to support your journey towards more sustainable event planning, making it easier for you to make a difference, one event at a time.

Whether you're a seasoned planner or a newcomer, integrating sustainability into your event planning isn't just feasible; it's essential. It's about making smart, thoughtful choices that reflect not only on your brand’s image but also on its legacy.
